PJ's Limerick Comfort Pump

Anyone use this? Know someone who has, can comment? Am currently renting a Medala Symphony but will have to give it back at some point & am looking into something that is good quality that I can use again without concern should we do this baby experiment again .

Re: PJ's Limerick Comfort Pump

Haven't had any experience but the Symphony so don't know how others compare. Seems to work alright for me. Pull 20 - 25 oz/day when at work pumping 4-5 times.

Don't think I actually ever needed the hospital grade pump, its just what they stuck on me when I refused to supplement formula. A visiting neonatologist said he was dehydrated & lost too much weight & my milk wasn't coming in. Wasn't even end of day 3 & he was nursing as well as 2 first timers could & when the nursery kept using pacifiers after requested not to. His mouth was dry b/c he kept screaming b/c they kept taking him away to do weight checks. First time they hooked me to it we pulled ~15 mL. He was born on a wednesday & the following monday he was 1 oz past his birth weight. Too lazy & not good at making purchasing decisions so we just kept the symphony. Costs as much to rent for 6 months as it does to buy lower grade. Still a sore spot with me, can you tell?

Figured if I can get a hospital grade for the same price as a higher end single use pump why not? The hours I work if we were able to do this again I would definitely need to pump. I saw one of these on ebay for 150US (hope no one nicks it!). The LC from the hospital & one from the support group here both suggested this one. They will accept a return so I may just go ahead. Also sort of tired of lugging the Symphony around.

Re: PJ's Limerick Comfort Pump

I'm thinking about it too.. I rented for $50/month, and by January, that is $900. I have at least 6 more months of EPing and have to buy another professional grade ASAP too. This would make more sense. And I do like the return policy; I tried the Medela soft cups, and they did not work for me, but I was stuck with them. This one takes them back....hmmm.

Re: PJ's Limerick Comfort Pump

So I e-mailed for more information. The way this pump works is apparently different than others. The horns don't suck your nipples into a tunnel, from what they tell me. So I am intrigued. I am trying to get DH to part with $600, but he is arguing with me and just wants to stay with what we have, since we already have the horns.
